The Akola Project is one of five development initiatives across Uganda led by the Ugandan American Partnership Organization (UAPO). The UAPO is an organization with a vision to partner with indigenous women who are committed to uplifting their communities and caring for orphaned children. Additional revenues from the sales of Akola Crafts are used to help facilitate UAPO's development projects throughout the country. |

Through the Buwala Project, UAPO renovated a rural orphanage home to care for 25 needy children. Through the development of a two acre commercial garden, St. Paul and Rose’s orphanage is a self-sustaining enterprise and a model for others in the community.

After 20 years of warfare and life in refugee camps, peace has finally returned to the people of Northern Uganda. To help the resettlement process, UAPO is constructing a seven-acre compound to holistically meet the needs of three displaced communities. The Mukisa Project will equip 19,000 displaced persons with the resources necessary to rebuild their lives. |

The Amaazi Project provides water and sanitation education to rural villages that have little or no access to clean water sources. UAPO has successfully drilled 15 clean water wells throughout the Eastern and Northern regions of Uganda. |

The Akola Project supports over 200 women in rural villages through economic development projects. UAPO trains women to make necklaces and bags that are sold throughout the U.S. and in local Ugandan markets. The project generates valuable income for school fees, medical care, and food, empowering women to uplift the lives of their families and communities. |
